Protein Waffles

Very good. But a bit rubbery the first time around. The second time I added 1/2 tsp baking powder and they fluffed up - rubbery texture GONE. I mix up the spices sometimes. Even with the sodium content of the cottage cheese I still add about 1/8 to 1/4 tsp salt to improve the flavor. I use whole eggs to avoid waste. I also blend the oatmeal FIRST to make it more flour-like. I remove the oatmeal flour, then blend the wet ingredients and add the oatmeal back in a little at a time so it doesn't stick in blobs around the edges.

Loved these waffles! I used 4 whole eggs instead of wasting 3 egg yolks (just a personal preference). I would do a few things differently next time though... I put the oats into the blender first, which made it hard to mix, so I would put the oats in last. The waffles didn't stick in my cast iron waffle maker like other reviewers said, but they also didn't rise much. next time I'd add some baking powder to give them a little more fluff. Great recipe! Thanks :)

I had all the ingredients, and must say these were a change from the usual waffle. I liberally sprayed my waffle iron with non-stick spray, and they still stuck (even though the waffle iron itself is a non-stick waffle iron) - how I managed a picture I'm not sure, but these waffles need some help to prevent them from turning into a lego style waffle.

Excellent recipe. I followed a couple of recommendations of others by adding 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder to the batter. I also mixed all in my food processor. I ground the oatmeal to a flour consistency first, removed it from the processor and added the baking soda and baking powder to it. I then mixed the remaining ingredients and added back the dry. Results were a crisp on the outside, tender on the inside waffle!

I'll keep it short. I followed the other suggestions. I did the 4 eggs. I added 1 tsp baking soda. The one thing I did different that I think would help a ton is I added 2 heaping tbsp of coconut oil. My dad's a health nut and he's always been big on healthy fats with your grains to help you digest. Plus no sticking issues.

I have made these one hundred times as a meal prep for weekly breakfasts. The first time I made them as directed and they were good. This is a great recipe to tweak. The following million times I have made this have been much different. First, I blend two cups of oats in my food processor so that it becomes flour-like. I then pour that into a bowl for a minute while I mix everything else into the food processor. I use: 4 whole eggs, Teaspoon each of baking soda and powder, Whole tub of store brand fat free pineapple cottage cheese, Splash vanilla, Pinch cinnamon, 2 TBS turmeric , 3-4 scoops FurtherFood collagen peptides, 2-3 TBS chia seeds I blend all of that together and then add the oat-flour back in and mix again. This makes 10 waffles- enough for my boyfriend and I each to have one until I make them again. I usually eat mine with peanut butter and a sliced banana on top; sometimes drizzled with maple syrup. Thank you for this recipe- sorry I hacked it all up! STILL GREAT!

Love them! I made this for my husband, and just told him it was a new recipe (but didn't tell him they were healthy or what was in them). He said they were good and gobbled them up. This will be a new addition to our breakfast rotation! I added a little baking soda, and they were fluffy and crispy. I sprayed the waffle iron and they came right out with no problems.

Following the advice of other reviewers I blended the oats first and removed them. I added the 1/4 tsp each of baking soda and baking powder to the oats. Then I processed the wet ingredients, added the oats back in and blended for a few minutes. These are fantastic! It is hard to find a good protein pancake or waffle recipe, so this has gone immediately into my "Keeper" pile!

The basic recipe is great, I played with it a bit and now I have the best tasting protein waffles I ever made with a nice waffle like texture, not so rubber like the usual protein pastries. I replaced the cottage cheese by 2 % fat greek joghurt (200g), increased honey to 20 g, added 30 g of vanilla whey protein and 1/2 package of baking powder. Makes 6 waffles with my maker with 147kcal each ( 13 g protein, 4 g fat, 14 g carbs).

Excellent healthy recipe for high protein, low fat, and great taste. I used 3 whole eggs and 2 whites. I added 1/4tsp baking powder.

Five stars simply because my anti-healthy kids love these waffles. Not for waffles and peanut butter, my kids would perish so they know their waffles. I've tried other sneaky chef recipes and my kids were on to it. These waffles work like a charm. Thank you!!!!

one member of family just went gluten free. This recipe is inexpensive enough that I can make it for the whole fam. I used quick oats, 1/2 yogurt, and 3 whole eggs. I also added 1 teas baking powder. turned out really good. we love the tang the yogurt gave. made a little over 2 cups of batter.

Delicious and super easy to make!! My girls absolutely loved them :) my trick: I use almond extract instead of vanilla and added nutmeg too.

These were excellent! I made them as pancakes, added about a tsp of olive oil, a couple dashes of nutmeg, and voila! Ok, ok... they're not as wonderful as regular pancakes, but the protein packed into these babies make up for that. ??

So yummy! My kids love them! They are really versatile. I have made them a few times. Most recently I didn’t have enough cottage cheese so I subbed some Greek yogurt to make up the difference. Sometimes I also add a teaspoon of baking powder to make them a bit fluffier. They are good as written, though.

I followed the recipe except 2 tablespoons white flour & they were awesome. I learned years ago a thought of white flour or raw sure

These are a really good protein waffle. I too added baking powder to fluff them up. I also made them with a jack o’ lantern face for Halloween. Who says healthy can’t be fun?!

Can use more eggs instead of egg whites. Put all ingredients in vitamix. Carson ate 3 3/20/22

Liked them better after adding 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt. Heartier than regular pancakes. Didn't stick (although I always spray my waffle iron).

I did what the first reviewer said and was very happy with the results. I thought they would taste funny given the ingredients, but they tasted pretty normal and good other than have a little eggy texture, which wasn't a bad thing. The only additional thing I did was add a little salt so it wouldn't be bland. Just what I needed after a morning workout!

I made them as regular pancakes. Delish! I will be making this again.

Tried this recipe stunk up my entire house, did not cook well, and was completely flavorless even though I added in extra vanilla, honey, and cinnamon. Plus I put in some blueberries. Will not be making these again.

So good. I topped it off with strawberries and chocolate nut butter....delicious. Thank you for sharing this.

So good! My family loved the. I added cinnamon bun protein powder and did half cottage cheese half flour, baking powder, and salt.

Easy and the kids love them. Made 1/2 batch (for 2 waffles) Used 2 whole eggs as per other reviewers' suggestions and added 1/2 tsp baking soda. Perfect.

I am not a fan of cottage cheese but this was really good and the whole family loved it.

We made these as pancakes due to our waffle maker not working properly and they were quite good.

I made these as a healthier alternative to plain waffles for my toddler grandchildren (ages 2 1/2 and 4). I added sprinkles to the top before closing the waffle iron. Next time I will just stir the sprinkles into the batter right before cooking. They are heavy but with the cottage cheese and eggs, that is to be expected. I used four whole eggs instead of separating them. These were great. Thanks for the recipe!

My husband doesn’t know there’s cottage cheese in here! We will keep it that way. He is literally pickier than a 2 year old, so I need to find ways to sneak certain foods into his system. This is one! THANK YOU!

These turned out great! Very simple, few ingredients, and much more flavor than regular waffles. Even my husband loved them! We were thinking we'd mix it up some next time and add more fall flavors. I may add some pumpkin. I think they could be awesome with some fine grated (and squeezed very dry) zucchini. Awesome Recipe! Thank you!

My five-year-old begs for waffles every morning. I wanted to find a healthier alternative to traditional waffles that I could easily whip up on a weekday. This recipe fits the bill with the following changes: I used four whole eggs instead of whites, simply for convenience. I also added a teaspoon of baking powder, per another reviewer’s suggestion. Since I didn’t want them to stick, I also added a tablespoon of canola oil to the batter. Lastly, since I didn’t realize I was running low on oatmeal until I made the recipe, I used a half cup of oatmeal and a half cup of almond meal. I sprayed both sides of my waffle iron lightly with cooking spray every couple of waffles. They have a different texture than traditional waffles, but I didn’t find them rubbery. The flavor was mild and pleasant and they were great with butter and maple syrup.

Amazing! We both loved them! Could not believe that they weren't regular waffles.

Good and bariatric friendly too!

This is the only pancake/waffle mic I know use. I get the yummy without the carb coma! Also yummy with Pumpkin added in ??????

Excellent recipe! My all time favorite for waffles.

These are great. We weren’t expecting to like these as much as we did. Crispy on the outside, tender and fluffy on the inside. A hearty breakfast.

I was surprised this had such high ratings, then I read some reviews. The first five I read made significant changes to this recipe and then rated it highly. I made it as writted, and it’s very bland. Also note that it says it serves 3, which is odd but true.

Fantastic!!! I am so excited about this pancake recipe. Three small kiddos and two picky eaters, this high protein breakfast option tasted fantastic and was enjoyed by the whole family. I will continue to make and eat these often. We did not alter the recipe except to add the baking soda and baking powder at 1/2 a tap each. Thank you so much!!

delicious!

I absolutely love these waffles! They are a staple in my healthy breakfast repertoire now. It's great that you can get the yummy waffle that you love without any unhealthy ingredients. I top with some thawed mixed berries :)

First off. Super easy, and sorry about not taking a picture prior to applying butter.

I tweaked this with phenomenal success.3 whole eggs1 tsp baking powder 1 tbl melted butter Light, fluffy and delicious. I also liberally sprayed the waffle iron with nonstick spray and they popped right out. Thanks!

I NEVER post reviews, but had to for this. I was craving waffles but wanted extra protein and less carbs. I did what others said and added the 1/2 tsp of baking powder. I blended the oats first and added the baking powder. Then I blended the other ingredients before adding in the oats and baking powder. The waffles came out perfect! Fluffy and light and absolutely delicious! This will be a staple in my kitchen from now on!!!!

I love these waffles for the protein-carb ratio. My daughter loves them because they are gluten free and delicious. So very easy to make, and they taste great. I have made them as is, and they are fine, although a little heavy and moist. I started adding 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar, and they fluff up with a slightly crispy crust--just the way I like them.

I can't believe how AMAZING these taste!! I'll admit when I mixed everything up and I could see the cottage cheese pieces I thought - no way is this going to be good. I mean, I like a Belgian waffle as much as the next person, I'm not like a protein pancake aficionado I just want to watch my calories - but these are GREAT. They taste like French toast. I did use a light syrup because I have a sweet tooth, but I do think some fruit for a topping would also be fine.

I've made it twice now, once as waffles and once as pancakes. Most awesome recipe. Healthy and tasty. I used the recommendation from other reviews and added 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and dash-1/4 tap of salt. I used almond extract once and it was tasty.

5 stars with the modifications of 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, using 4 whole eggs and blending oats first. I was pleasantly surprised by the texture and taste! My husband was looking for a high protein breakfast and this is the perfect recipe for that!

Loved it!

This is now my go-to waffle recipe! Very filling and super tasty. I love adding a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg. Definitely is becoming a favorite and is nice to break up the breakfast monotony. Can’t recommend enough!

I was looking for a healthy recipe and could count the WW points. This is awesome! High protein means it's filling too. A serving is 4 points by my calculation. I followed other reviewers suggestions and added a 1/2 tsp of baking powder and used whole eggs. I would add a pinch of salt next time, just as I add a pinch of salt when I make oatmeal. The instructions for my waffle maker said to use 1/4 cup but as these do not raise or spread out as much, you will want to increase the amount of batter.

decent waffle, tasted a little on the eggy side but I definitely a non issue when considering the protein in just one serving. I didn't have the same sticking issue as the previous reviewer. thanks for this recipe, it's so hard to find a high protein breakfast food that you can meal prep in advance.

Outstanding recipe. Fluffy and just sweet enough. Wow it was a hit. We will totally make this again.

Make sure to spray the pan.

Like the high protein but the taste leaves much to be desired.
